A sad day

Today was my last day. It was so sad to say goodbye to everyone. But I am still looking very much forward to see my family tomorrow.

Idag var min sidste dag. Det var virkelig sørgeligt at skulle sige farvel til alle. Men jeg glæder mig stadig virkelig meget til at se min familie i morgen.

Finally it's finished

The sweater is finished. The ends have been weaved in and it has been washed. When I hadn't washed it yet, I was afraid that it was too short. But I streched it during the drying, and now it fits.
I was going to post this picture yesterday, but the internet at the house didn't work. Don and Nancy have bought a new computer, and had a technitian come and setup a new network yesterday. Of course, during the afternoon when the technitian had left, the network failed and we had no internet. It is supposed to be fixed now, and I hope it is, because there is really not much to do in the evenings, and I eat too much when I am bored.

Sweateren er færdig. Enderne er hæftet og jeg har vasket den. Da den ikke var blevet vasket endnu, var jeg bange for at den var for kort. Men jeg strak den da den skulle tørre, og nu passer den.
Jeg ville have posted det her billede i går, men vores internet virkede ikke. Don og Nancy har købt en ny computer, og havde en tekniker ude for at sætte et nyt netværk op i går. Selfølgelig skete der det hen på eftermiddagen da teknikeren var gået, at netværket gik ned og vi ikke havde noget internet. Det skulle være oppe og køre nu, og jeg håber det er, fordi der er virkelig ikke rigtig noget at lave om aftenen, og jeg spiser for meget når jeg keder mig.

Paleo cookies

A lot of people in the crossfit community eat a paleolithic diet. The people at my gym are no different. So when I wanted to make something delicious for them, it was quite a challenge to find a recipe for a paleo cake that I thought was good. I tried making paleo cake two times before, and I failed miserably both times. This time, however, was a succes. I made paleo cookies, they are not crispy but soft like a cake. I brought them to the gym, and when I was done with my workout I had one. A guy who hadn't heard that I had brought paleo treats looked very funny at me and asked: "Are you eating a brownie?" I thought that was really funny, it must have looked pretty strange that someone would eat a brownie right after working out. It is not exactly the best recovery snack.

Here is the recipe: http://paleomg.com/nutella-banana-bread-cookies/

Mange personer i crossfit verdenen spiser efter stenalderkosten, også kaldet paleo. Menneskerne i mit fitness center er ikke forskellige. Så da jeg gerne ville lave noget lækkert til dem, var det en udfordring at finde en opskrift på paleo kage som jeg synes var god. Jeg har to gange før prøvet at lave paleo kage, men det er gået virkelig dårligt begge gange. Denne gange var heldigvis en succes. Keg lavede paleo småkager, de er ikke crispy, men bløde som en almindelig kage. Jeg tog dem med til træning, og da jeg var færdig med træning, ville jeg også have en. En fyr der ikke havde hørt at jeg havde taget paleo lækkerier med, så rigtig underligt på mig og spurgte: "Spiser du en brownie?" Jeg syntes det var rigtig sjovt, det må have set ret sjovt ud at nogen ville spise en brownie lige efter træning. Det er ikke rigtig den bedste recovery snack.

Her er opskriften: http://asneakpeekonme.blogspot.com/2013/01/paleo-banan-smakager-banana-bread.html

Independence Day

4th of July means parades, fireworks and a lot of Stars and Stripes. It is the ultimate American holiday. I am not American, so I went to work even though I was almost the only one there. I did have my lunch while watching the parade. I must say, I was expecting something more. But I guess, that since this is a small town, they don't have the money to go all out. The fireworks however, was very impressive. Especially the last part, which is in the short film below. But I still like new years eve better...

4. Juli betyder parader, fyrværkeri og masser af amerikanske flag. Det er den ultimative amerikanske helligdag. Jeg er ikke amerikaner, så jeg tog på arbejde selvom eg næsten er den eneste der er her. Jeg spiste dog min frokost imens jeg så noget af paraden. Helt ærligt, så havde jeg forventet noget mere. Men altså, når byen er så lille har de nok ikke råd til det helt store. Fyrværkeriet derimod, var meget imponerende. Specielt afslutningen som er på filmen nedenfor. Jeg kan dog stadig bedre lide nytårsaften...

New friends

I made some new friends today on my way home. This house is in the neighborhood where I live, and I ride past it everyday. It makes me happy everytine I see it. Today there were some curious visitors right by the house.

Jeg fik nogle nye venner i dag på vej hjem. Dette hus er i det område jeg bor i, og jeg kører forbi det hver dag. Det gør mig bare glad hver gang jeg ser det. Idag var der nogle nye besøgende lige ved huset.

Good luck

Held og lykke
